The hospital I work in has been closed. For the first time ever, when I went to work, the doors were locked to the public. We are all wearing masks, all the patients are on isolation and NO visitors are allowed in to see their loved ones. Multiple precaution and warning signs are placed at each entrance, each nursing station and each patient room. Police barricaded the entrances for a short time today and I'm not sure totally of the reasons. I am confined to my home by government regulators. I have to wear a mask in my home, sleep in a separate room and if my temperature should reach 38, I must further report myself to the authorities. If I break the rules, I am further subject to a $3000 fine. I'm sitting at 37.5 and my son at 37.8. I have already had to pull my son out of school. We're ingesting lots of colloidal silver and have been anyway, but it did not stop us from getting the infection. We're taking AG-Immune as well. There isn't any DMSO up here and MSM doesn't do the same thing - so we're just slugging it out. Am borrowing an air purifier that ozonates the air and puts negative ions into the air here at home. Haven't had any luck suggesting that for the hospital but can't help but feel that if they had had a system like this installed , the staff never would have caught it from each other. We got infected while investigators were figureing out what it was and how it was spread. Apparently air droplets go into the eyes, and the bug drains down the lacrimal canal into the throat and bingo you've got it. We weren't wearing eye protection soon enough. They just didn't know and now the cat's out of the bag here and we have become the epicenter for Canada and possibly North America. Masks and goggles were the prevention and we weren't wearing both soon enough. I heard on the news on the way home that it's been declared a health emergency and that the quaranteen will extend to thousands of people. I don't recall a quaranteen ever extended to thousands of people - that worked. The good news is that the last person that died from it was 70 years old and he probably would have died even if he had caught ordinary flu, but who knows. I sit and watch the developments now on an hourly basis. Thought this would be of interest to the group. Ian
